This is totally expected. The question is, what can Abbas do? And if he can't do anything, what will Bush do? You know damn well he won't let this go like Clinton did.

I dont think that it was completely expected....I believe Debka reported a three month cease-fire had been worked out between Mazen and the militants. This is a much better scenario than that. For any chance at a lasting peace, we need to have the Palestinians to go through some sort of "civil war" over the direction of the peace process (even if it doesnt turn into a full-scale fight). Much better for that to occur now while the world is watching than in 3 months when every issue has been obscured.
